So with Gas prices getting the way they are, I am thinking of buying a conversion kit that will convert my 4.0L mustang to a CNG vehicle.

my questions are,

#1-I have added dual exhaust and really like the sound it gives me. On Natural Gas will the vehicle not sound as loud?

#2- Will I loose power in the engine going with Natural gas?

#3- with natural gas, does that make it so that I can not use a tuner or anything?

The kit coes so that with the flip of a switch you can go from CNG to Gas. so I am not loosing Gas ability. the kit is 900.00. and Gas here in utah is 3.65 and Natural gas is $1.73

Has anyone done this, and if so what kit did you use?

Have'nt heard about this,to tell ya the truth.I am watching prices tho,and if the difference becomes large enough i may go e85 since there's a few stations near me..

i would like to know the same questions, To the OP do you have a link for this conversion kit? i might start looking into this. money saved on gas will pay for itself in no time at all.

here in Salt Lake City, Ut gas is 3.69. and Natural gas is 0.66 cents....

I beleive you'll need a higher compression ratio for improved efficencey.
& CNG burns a richer mixture so the MPG goes down...............it still may save money,
although it would take a long time given the initial kit cost.

might i suggest getting a beater and trying this conversion on that instead?? doing a fuel swap on a brand new car might not be a good idea

[golfndad]

any links for conversion kits?

[gooberhead320]

i would say buy a beater and drive the stang when you want to have fun. if me and the gf stay together when she goes to college then ill be buying whatever gets 30+ mpg and i dont care what it looks like. ill be driving 500+ miles and dont want to be getting like 15mpg like ill be getting once i have everything done to it. and i dont want to put the miles on it. i have already put enough on it since ive had it

so i say a beater ftw that gets good gas mileage

Holy crap, $3.65? You guys have it easy! its like $4.12+ down here in Florida for regular now...

wish I was complaining about $3.65 I was excited I paid $4.17 the other day. But it's not that bad I have a 93 octane tune, and gas has dropped a good deal for some reason around here.

[BDaily]

4.12 here for 91 octane. I did get it for like 4.02 the otherday, wish it would stay that low lol!

That post about the price in Utah was a month ago. And actually in Tampa Regular DROPPED down to 3.92 my last fill yesterday. Sad to get excited about that price...

[dgt_mustang]

sitting at 3.83 for reg, you can get the rest of prices from that

I'm working on getting my 2005 GT converted to CNG. I'll update you when it is working correctly and post some pictures. I might try selling it too.

Yeah I've got a 93 oct tune. Gas for me is $4.25 and just keeps going up. I actually haven't seen the price drop at all around here since like 6 months ago.
